Assalamu alaykum dear {name}, |

We are all blessed after last incredible weekend, overshowered by the lights of Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi, and empowered by his ḥimma that raises our himma 🌹🌹🌹 |

In these times of confusion and busyness with the dunya, we are blessed to be in the presence of a righteous descendant of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: His Eminence Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi, may Allah raise his ranks and protect him for the benefit if the ummah.
He masterfully revived the embers, shook the unbridled love in our chests, and fuelled our resolve to be better Muslims and better human beings. How fortunate we are to be allowed in the presence of a powerhouse of love and guidance! |
| |
Exhibit of Love this year attracted thousands, people from all walks of life, ages and races, all with one purpose: to express love with praises upon the Prophet ﷺ, in the company of his great grandson, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi. The masjids were at full capacity and thousands more around the world followed the event via live stream links.
An exclusive line-up contributed to this wonderful three-day tour, adjusted to serve the English, Arabic and South Asian communities; with a mixture of English, Urdu and Arabic nasheeds, pulling at the heartstrings of all the lovers of our Noble Prophet ﷺ. |
| |
In Bradford, a heartfelt speech was delivered on the subject of loving, understanding, and actually carrying out the Sunnah teachings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We were reminded of the importance of unity, love, and mercy in everything we do. These words motivated us to be better people and more active in our communities. |
| |
Moving on to Birmingham, the evening extended to a full night of worship, the Night of Illumination, an all night energetic event full of dhikr, nasheeds, poetry, readings from the English mawlid of Shaykh Asim Yusuf, and words of wisdom by Shaykh Al-Yaqoubi, culminating in a Shadhili Hadra, before tahajjud and fajr prayer. |

| |
During the grand finale at the Hounslow Jamia Masjid in London, Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi addressed Muslims and non-Musilms alike on the grandeur of Allah's final messenger, our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his central place in the religion of Islam; the gift of guidance, the ethics of Islam, the meaning of goodness, and the power of love at its various levels. |
| |
These are majestic gatherings of light that raise our energy and help us move forward on the path towards Allah with more determination and a strong sense of purpose. May Allah allow us to be in such gatherings again and again! |

SCHOLARLY HERITAGE AT THE EOL
|
| |
Scholarly Heritage was honoured to be present at the recent Exhibit of Love venues: Hounslow Jamia Masjid in London, Ghamkol Sharif Mosque in Birmingham and Madni Mosque in Bradford.
A presentation on the work of Scholarly Heritage was made in the Ghamkol Sharif Mosque, raising awareness around the ‘Mission’ and ‘Purpose’ of Scholarly Heritage amongst the listening audience. In Hounslow Mosque, Scholarly Heritage had a large TV screen playing a presentation in the background which looked very professional.
We would like to extend special thanks to the Exhibit of Love organisers who were very forthcoming and supportive towards Scholarly Heritage. |

THE SCHOLARLY HERITAGE STALLS

May Allah bless and reward the stall teams, who demonstrated a great example of leadership and cooperation across the UK. Thanks to their great initiative, organisation and logistics, the stalls were well manned and equipped on both the brothers and sisters side.
There was sufficient infomation materials on Scholarly Heritage, as well as card readers and donation boxes. The volunteers did excellently in interacting with attendees and talking about Scholarly Heritage and answering queries from the public. A special thanks to our junior stall volunteers who enthusiastically came forward to engage with the public. |
